“His ideas of modal playing, his idea of voicing chords in fourth – a lot of things he did just became part of the language of jazz, so it influenced me and everybody else. Inside a mode, you don’t have a dominant seventh chord that implies the key you are in, so the root is less fixed….One thing he did was very interesting was creating a much slower concept of a dramatic arc.” – Mark Ribot on McCoy Tyner
